Best trip with the family

4 Hrs – Boat trip & Snorkeling (PM)8 adults1 child

We had the most amazing time on the boat yesterday with our entire family our three adult children and one grandchild. We were brought to an area where we saw lots of turtles. Our guide‘s daughter was on the boat and got the water with us and pointed out all the turtles to make it easier to find. We then went to a different location and swam with hundreds of colorful fish. We ended the day at a low tide location where we just laid and floated in the water. It was the best family day we had while on vacation in Aruba. We also felt very comfortable with the captain on the boat considering we had a five month old on board. definitely book this trip.

Response from Captain

    The Most Amazing Boat Ride

    4 Hrs – Boat Trip & Snorkeling (AM) • 5 adults

    Best thing we did in Aruba, hands down. The captain was amazing, so friendly and clearly loves what he does, and his daughter was right there helping out and made the whole trip feel like we were hanging out with family instead of on a tour. The rum punch was flowing the entire time and it was dangerously good. The tour itself was beautiful. Crystal clear water, gorgeous views of the coastline the whole way, and great music on board. The snorkeling was the highlight. So many colorful fish everywhere you looked, and we even got to swim with a sea turtle, which was unreal. They gave us all the gear and helped anyone who was nervous in the water, so it was easy even for first timers. Great vibes, great crew, great value. If you are visiting Aruba, book this. We would do it again in a heartbeat.

    Perfect trip!

    4 Hrs – Boat trip & Snorkeling (PM) • 7 adults

    We had a great day. Despite us messing up and going to the wrong location, causing a 30 minute delay, Alexandro took us for the full 4 hours. Not a word was mentioned. His wife and son were on the trip. Wonderful and friendly family. We snorkeled at the German Shipwreck the SS Antilla, saw lot’s of fish, went to another location to snorkel with the sea turtles- my daughter was even able to touch one. We finished the day fishing. Everyone caught several fish of multiple species from grouper to squirrel fish. Alexandro and his family were very accommodating. There was no agenda- he did only what we wanted. The boat is a very stable Boston Whaler, with a head if needed. There was 3 crew and 7 of us, and we had plenty of room. If I’m in town again, I’ll definitely look him up.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you Mr Robert no worries about the miss location happens many times the island is small so any drive is about 10-15 min the important is that you found the place and had a great time with us on the boat, wish you all the best and a great vacation on the island 🏝️

    Awesome trip for our family!!

    4 Hrs – Boat trip & Snorkeling (PM) • 4 adults

    We booked Keep it Real based on the reviews for snorkeling. Needless to say they were right. Captain Alex and his wife Kelly were amazing. Super friendly, very accommodating. The one thing we liked the most was the communication from Capt Alex the days leading up to the trip. He truly cares about your experience. Most of all, Alex and Kelly are very family focused. For our small group of 4 it was perfect versus the big "booze cruise" snorkeling trip. Alex and Kelly tailored the trip to where we wanted to snorkel and made it very personal for our family. We will be back and we will definitely use them again. Thank you Alex and Kelly!!!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you Mr Bo for booking with us, we focused on private family or group trips (max 10 guest) thank you for making us part of your vacation we definitely appreciate that!

    absolutely perfect!

    4 Hrs – Boat Trip & Snorkeling (AM) • 8 adults

    captain alexandro and his wife were beautiful human beings! it was myself and my family for a total of 8 and it was my mom’s 50th birthday and they got us a chocolate cake for her which was ao sweet of them to do. i cut my foot while swimming and they bandaged me up good as new. they have a big speaker for custom playlists and also provide drinks and snacks. we got to snorkel for the first time and they took us to the perfect spot to get some good views of the sea turtles. 10/10 experience, they dropped us off at west deck to make it easier on us and our driver. please book with them!!! we were safe and comfortable the entire time. l

    Absolutely amazing day on the water!

    4 Hrs – Boat trip & Snorkeling (PM) • 10 adults • 4 children

    We had an absolutely incredible experience on our private boat trip with Captain Alex and first mate Nicki. From start to finish, everything was seamless and so well organized. They were extremely responsive leading up to the trip, making the whole booking process easy and stress-free. Our group of 10 (including young kids) felt completely taken care of the entire time. Alex and Nicki were not only professional and knowledgeable, but also so warm and welcoming, they really made the day feel special. One of the highlights was snorkeling and getting to see turtles up close, which was truly unforgettable! The crew made sure everyone was comfortable and had a great time in the water. Thank you both for an amazing day and for accommodating our group so perfectly. We would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and memorable time on the water!
